Agreed. Though they COULD be trying to go after Lieberman for obvious reasons...

I’m really curious:)

Reid is screwing up all over the place and has become an ineffective embarrassment for the Dems/lefties. It’s a lot cleaner to get him out with a story, written by David Corn, one of their own than publicly oust Ol’Harry on the floor of the Senate.

Are you stuck in a dead end job so boring that you spend all day at work surfing the web reading witty political commentary? Are you tired of investments that depend on unreliable “market forces” for their returns? Haven’t you always dreamed of a way to make money that was as automatic as the creeping bureaucracy that afflicts our nation’s cash flow like fiscal atherosclerosis?

Well dream no more, friend, because today I am going to let you in on one of the great secrets of American business (and the mainstream media): The Harry Reid Do-Nothing Miracle Investment System! Through this system, you can sit back and watch the cash roll in from questionable desert real estate investments with the sort of reliability that only government can provide. The system is as simple as it is hidden through shell corporations, nepotism and political contributions. Yes, there are just three easy steps to mogul-like millions in Las Vegas real estate:"

Lieberman would have been my first inclination, but he is no longer a Democrat. Your point about Harry Reid is well taken. The approval ratings for the Democrat run legislature is not only at record lows, but at depths many thought weren't possible to reach. I think Mr. Corn may be involved in a little vigilante house-cleaning before he feels it's too late.

If it’s a dem, it’ll be spiked or buried. Look at how the media has been all over William Jefferson, who diverted precious National Guard rescue resources after Katerina, in order to “rescue” his personal property, and later was found to have some $90,000 of marked bills in his freezer at his home.

Well virtually all the democrats are “mobbed -up” with the 21st century version of Murder Incorporated. All take money from Planned Parenthood and other abortion industry interests. In return, they vote to give government money to Planned Parenthood. If the Democrats win the White House, Planned Parenthood will be given tens of millions of dollars to perform abortions abroad,as part of our international assistance programs.

How do you shop a story ? Just release it ... Or is that too easy

Well, Clinton Inc. sure had the process nailed. Remember their Friday night news dumps? By Monday the story was thoroughly dead.
